PICTURE THIS #262 ~ POT LUCK

Hi all, I hope your weekend has started well?

Thanks to Benni for this weeks theme.

It's an exciting week for me coming up, Marci will be arriving at Heathrow early Friday morning for our first vacation in quite a while. Its going to be great fun, we are going to London for a long weekend and Marci is competing in a half marathon on the Isle of Wight and doing a Sprint Triathlon at Swanage!!

So for this weeks theme "Pot Luck" I have chosen my favourite "Portraits" from our trips over the last 5 years.

Have a great weekend ;)

Selfie: Paradise village, Michigan UP, our first real vacation.

Selfie: Paradise village, Michigan UP, so many wonderful memories.

The Smoky Mountains, Tennessee. (Not strictly a selfi, I set the camera up and positioned it and Liam clicked the shutter LOL ).

Hi Baz !! I bet you can't wait for Marci to arrive. It's been quite a while since you last saw her. Lovely shots of the two of you. My fave is actually the one that Liam took. It's just a natural-looking pose, despite you doing your Van Morrison impression. LOL.

Fabulous portraits, Baz, all of them. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the one in Tennessee. You both look so relaxed and you fit right in with the trees and rocks. Have a marvelous time on your holiday!! Also, a perfect banner picture of the tomatoes. Congrats!

Welcome To Picture This

Welcome to the new home for the 'Picture This' photographic group, originally on Multiply. This is a 'closed' group. Although anyone can follow the group, and comment on posts, only approved contributors can actually take part. If you wish to apply to be an approved contributor please send a request to picturethisTNG@gmail.com. We hold a weekly 'challenge' where the host chooses a theme and members can post up to three images of their own to match that theme.

Rules For Weekly Challenges

The rules are similar to when Picture This was on Multiply, with a few differences. As always, please post a maximum of three photos each. The Picture This page on Blogger is optimised for image size 640 x 480, so please try to post images NO LARGER than this to avoid distorting the page or overlapping onto the right-rail. Blogger has a storage limit for photos uploaded directly to the site, so please use copy/paste of HTML from storage sites such as Flickr or Photobucket as much as you can. Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not allow posting of images in comment boxes, so anyone taking part should put their photos, along with any accompanying text, in a separate post here on the PT main page, making sure the challenge number and theme are in the title line. Please note that the posts will appear in reverse order. After the host has posted the challenge, all contribution posts will appear above it on the main page, so you will have to scroll down the main page to find the host's post.

Challenge Albums & Flickr

Unlike Multiply, Blogger does not have facility for photo albums, so Picture This now has it's own associated Flickr account, where albums will be uploaded to . Once on Flickr, they will then be cross-posted to Blogger (all of this part is done by the admins, just like the albums were on Multiply). Each challenge album will appear on it's own tabbed page, along with a Flickr slideshow of the album. The cross-post only shows the first 24 images as thumbnails, to see the whole album, either watch the slideshow, or click on the little blue link between the thumbnails and the slideshow. Only the most recent three challenge albums will show on tabbed pages, to see earlier albums, you will need to go to the Picture This Flickr page. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FLICKR PAGE. Our Flickr account has tight copyright controls, so your photos are as safe as on your own Flickr page.
